dim distraction

Racists are generally not very bright. They hide their dimness sometimes in flowery language like 1law4all and at other times they let it all hang out like the recently launched Pakeha Party. It is funny to watch them and these types don't bother me too much because they are so dim they don't realise how dim they are.So I'm not worried about The Pakeha Party - much mirth has been made about them using te reo Māori and not being able to spell and their silly slogans, such as Toby Manhire outlines

“If the Maori get it, we want it to!” Yeah! But want it to what? The missing word, almost certainly, is “thrive”.

The whole Party is a joke and the joke is that they meant party as in party not political party. So as I say it is not worth taking seriously even though they have received more than 34,000 likes on facebook - much more serious is 1law4all because they are actively trying to change our constitution to disadvantage Māori - they want to solidify their racism in the very fabric of our country. Both groups are interrelated and recently I found a nice explanation for their idiocy in an explanation of another idiocy

Usage of the term heterophobic or heterophobia by
anti-gay groups falls into the wider pattern of the persecution complex,
in which groups criticized for their tendency to create hate and
discrimination react by reframing their discriminatory tendencies as
some value-neutral idea, and then suggesting that criticism of this
reframed idea constitutes discrimination.

Thus, racism becomes white pride, and the marginalized racist claims
that his “heritage” is being sidelined unjustly through “reverse
racism”.

You see the people that are racist feel persecuted and through disjointed logic they reframe their problem and make it someone else's. So don't get worked up about this - just enjoy the laughs and also enjoy the very dim joining up on facebook and then keep working for equality and keep fighting the real dirty racists - those like 1law4all and their moneyed mates - that is where the real battle is.
